22.6 Container adaptors [container.adaptors]

22.6.1 In general [container.adaptors.general]

The headers <queue> and <stack> define the container adaptors queue, priority_­queue, and stack.
The container adaptors each take a Container template parameter, and each constructor takes a Container reference argument.
This container is copied into the Container member of each adaptor.
If the container takes an allocator, then a compatible allocator may be passed in to the adaptor's constructor.
Otherwise, normal copy or move construction is used for the container argument.
The first template parameter T of the container adaptors shall denote the same type as Container​::​value_­type.
For container adaptors, no swap function throws an exception unless that exception is thrown by the swap of the adaptor's Container or Compare object (if any).
A deduction guide for a container adaptor shall not participate in overload resolution if any of the following are true:
  • It has an InputIterator template parameter and a type that does not qualify as an input iterator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has a Compare template parameter and a type that qualifies as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has a Container template parameter and a type that qualifies as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has an Allocator template parameter and a type that does not qualify as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has both Container and Allocator template parameters, and uses_­allocator_­v<Container, Allocator> is false.

22.6.4 Class template queue [queue]

22.6.4.1 Definition [queue.defn]

Any sequence container supporting operations front(), back(), push_­back() and pop_­front() can be used to instantiate queue.

22.6.5 Class template priority_­queue [priority.queue]

22.6.5.1 Overview [priqueue.overview]

Any sequence container with random access iterator and supporting operations front(), push_­back() and pop_­back() can be used to instantiate priority_­queue.
In particular, vector and deque can be used.
Instantiating priority_­queue also involves supplying a function or function object for making priority comparisons; the library assumes that the function or function object defines a strict weak ordering.
namespace std {
  template<class T, class Container = vector<T>,
           class Compare = less<typename Container::value_type>>
  class priority_queue {

      -> priority_queue<typename iterator_traits<InputIterator>::value_type, Container, Compare>;
